Or would he rather see that money used to help the suffering of so many of his creations. Why can’t they meet in more humble surroundings, why the expensive statues (or graven images), why all the gold color, whats with the stained glass. Is god really impressed by this stuff?
who are you to question God’s taste in architecture?
Yes
sometimes big churches are needed to reach out to the people in a big community.
think about it, a small humble church isn’t going to fit all of them
Yeah. He also likes watching priests cornhole little boys
No, but he does like giant towers of pizza to be dedicated in his name.
Throughout the Bible, God and his son Jesus consistently make it clear that attitude and heart condition are far more important than appearance. Aside from the fact that he doesn’t approve of any idols or images used in worship to begin with, God wouldn’t be impressed by such buildings just because of the materials used to build them and the amount of money it cost.
In part, 1 Samuel 16:7 says “..For not the way man sees is the way God sees, because mere man sees what appears to the eyes; but as for Jehovah, he sees what the heart is.”
